- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Instructions
- Boil the peeled and cubed potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.

- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the potato mixture, fold gently until melted, and mash lightly for a creamy texture.

- Cook each burrito seam-side down in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
